Celebrating a New Era: Our Game-Changing Office in Sandycroft
A Milestone in Our Journey
The grand opening of our new office in Sandycroft marks a significant milestone in our journey. It is with great excitement that we share the news of this game-changing development, which will serve as the new home for our Sandycroft Depot Team as well as head office teams in Accounts, HR, and Marketing. This move signifies not just a change in location but the beginning of a bright and prosperous future for our company as we continue to grow and innovate.
A Day of Celebration
The grand opening event was a day filled with joy and anticipation. We were honoured to welcome suppliers, customers, and depot managers from across our network to join us in celebrating this momentous occasion. The highlight of the day was the official opening ceremony, graciously performed by Jackie Maginnis, CEO of the Modular & Portable Building Association (MPBA). Her presence underpinned the importance of our new office within the industry.
A Tour of Innovation
As the Sandycroft team proudly guided our guests through the new premises, it was clear that this is no ordinary office. Our bespoke facility boasts a range of cutting-edge features designed to create an environment that is both functional and inspiring. Highlights include a state-of-the-art air conditioning and heating system, natural ventilation, PV solar panels with battery backup, and electric vehicle charging stations. Additionally, the office is equipped with radiant heat panels in wet areas, PIR sensors in toilet areas, and energy-efficient lighting that adjusts to natural light levels.
Modern and Welcoming Atmosphere
One of the standout features of the office is its modern and welcoming atmosphere, which is set to transform perceptions of what a modular building can offer. The space has been thoughtfully designed to foster collaboration, innovation, and productivity, while also providing areas where employees can relax and recharge. Acoustic noise baffle screens and integrated plumbing systems ensure that the office is both comfortable and efficient.
Enhanced Welfare Facilities
We are particularly proud of our new welfare facilities, which include a spacious canteen capable of accommodating over 40 people. This area provides a comfortable breakout space for our team to enjoy breaks and socialise. Additionally, we have installed modern shower and changing facilities to cater to our hard-working yard team, ensuring they have the amenities to stay on top of their game.
A Customer-Centric Approach
From a customer perspective, the new office provides a warm and inviting entrance, coupled with practical and accessible meeting spaces. The open-plan layout is not only aesthetically pleasing but also enhances communication and teamwork. The design prioritises comfort, ensuring that the workspace is light, airy, and conducive to professional excellence. With the most efficient heating and cooling system in the industry, the office is a testament to our commitment to sustainability and forward-thinking design.
Boosting Team Dynamics
As we move into this new era, we are proud to highlight five key benefits of our open-plan, modern office: boosted productivity, increased employee satisfaction, enhanced innovation, improved communication, and reduced stress levels. These advantages will play a pivotal role in our ongoing success and the well-being of our team.
Director’s Welcome and Gratitude
Portable Offices’ Directors (Justin Scott, Adrian Witty & Barney Scott), welcomed everyone to the new era and expressed their heartfelt thanks to all who contributed to making this vision a reality. They acknowledged the hard work, dedication, and collaboration that went into creating the amazing new workspace. Susan Holland, Depot Manager at Sandycroft, emphasised how this move will be to support the depot’s continued growth and success.
Looking Ahead
The opening day was a perfect reflection of Portable Offices’ values and aspirations. It was a pleasure to see so many familiar faces come together to celebrate this new chapter with us. The event was not just about showcasing a new building, but about reaffirming our commitment to creating a dynamic and supportive environment for our employees and partners.
As we settle into our new home in Sandycroft, we look forward to a future filled with exciting opportunities and continued growth. We are grateful for the support of everyone who joined us on this special day and for the hard work of the Sandycroft team in bringing this vision to life. Here’s to a bright and prosperous future in our new office!
